He stood silently in the main hall of the Overlord's keep. He had requested this audience with the man out of a knee jerk reaction. He did not consider his actions nor their consequences. He was far too busy looking back to even offer a passing glance to the near future.
Keen hawk-like eyes passed over the Overlord as Adron looked for certain cues, certain hints. His hair, which once had been a crisp black like Adron's. The stubble that grew in a particular way from his jaw. The height, the build, the eyes....it was all familiar. It was as if for years he had been looking at a shadow of his House and refused the image.
Finally, words were broken from the Minister's lips. Unlike his expression or the thoughts that raced through his mind they were sure and powerful. "Thank you, for giving me this audience. I'm sure you're a busy man." The small talk was momentary, it was quickly replaced by another silent gaze that lasted only a fraction of the time the first had.
"We have been enemies for a long time. Expending a lot of energy towards each other...Energy that could have been focused elsewhere." His hands rested on the peak of his walking stick while his eyes scanned the room they stood in. "That chapter in our lives is over now." He declared, his eyes turning back to the Overlord after taking a few seconds to drink In the interior of the keep. "We're allies now....again." The word was born from a notion of distaste in Adron's mouth. It was not entirely spat on but the animosity towards Kainan had not wavered.
"Because we are allies, there is something you need to know. Something that you may use or discard as you see fit. Were it anything but what it was I'd have withheld it from you....in the past I'd have used it against you. But I cannot keep this secret....not from you." The final words were barely a whisper as Adron's blue orbs bore into the eyes of his rival, former rival.
